Locating and Modifying the Domain (Transfer) Secret/Authorization Code for a Domain Name
Most TLDs (Domain Name Extensions) have a Domain (Transfer) Secret Key/Authorization Code associated with them. This serves as a password and is required to authenticate domain name Transfers.
Note
The following TLDs do not support Domain (Transfer) Secret Key/Authorization Code (Anchor: authcode):
.EU
Additional Information
M/s InfoHuge also allows you to modify your Domain (Transfer) Secret for each domain name. You can, thus, have a Domain (Transfer) Secret of your choice for each domain name.
To View/Modify a Domain (Transfer) Secret Key/Authorization Code
Login to your Control Panel, search for the domain name whose Domain Secret you wish to view/modify and proceed to the Order Information view. 1
Here, the current Domain (Transfer) Secret will be displayed. In order to change it, provide a new Domain (Transfer) Secret in the textbox and click the Update Domain Secret button to set it.
Note
While modifying the Domain Secret of .COM, .NET, .NAME domain names, the following rules apply:
The length of the Domain Secret can be from 8 to 32 characters only
The Domain Secret must contain 1 alphabet, 1 number as well as 1 special character.
The Domain Secret should ideally consist of alphanumeric as well as special characters like the ones mentioned below:
A -Z and a - z
0 - 9
! " # $ % & ' ( ) * + , - . / : ; < = > ? @ [ \ ] ^ _ ` { | } ~
However, certain TLDs do not support usage of special characters in the Domain Secret:
In case of a .COM, .NET domain names the Domain Secret field may be blank. In order to set it, provide a new Domain (Transfer) Secret in the textbox and click the Update Domain Secret button.
Once a domain name having an associated Domain (Transfer) Secret is Transferred to M/s InfoHuge from another Registrar, a new Domain (Transfer) Secret is set for such a domain name. This process is implemented from a security perspective.
